APublic Nuisance.


There is no disposition to deny
those who come to town from the
country with their horses and wag-
ons, any convenience or accommoda-
ton they may need.
There ought to be public provis-
ion at a proper place for standing
horses and wagons. 1t is true that
we have hotel and livery stables
enough to accommodate them, and
these are the best places for them.
But it is not everybody who can at.
ford the expense of having their
horses cared for at the public sta
bles.
Hence we say there ought to be
some place set apart for horses and
wagons, where they should be com
PEELED to go. The habit of hitching
along the public streets, and making
stables out of the streets and side
walks, has become and intolerablt
nuisance. People come to town and
stay all day leaving their horses
standing in front of residence OF
store, where they feed them aud scat
ter hay and filth and depart leaving
an offensive stencil, which remains
for days and weeks to torment those
who must bear it.
This is not only offensive, but it il
disgraceful. The town authorities
should either prohibit this custom
altogether, or they should provide
for a daily cleaning of the streets
and removal of the alth. Bette
than all, they should set apart limit
and provide accommodations TO
horses and wagons and confne then
| to it.

The Kfngwood Murder TRIAL.

The second trial of Charles Lakel
for killing Jacob Lieb at Brandon
vile, in May, 1886, was concluded
at Kingwood on Saturday last. The
same attorneys that conducted the
first trial were engaged in this, viz:
Pros. Attorney Fortney and P. J.
Crogan for the prosecution, and B.
F. Martin, VIM. G. Brown and H. C.
Hyde for the defense. The evil
dence was closed at o'clock p. m.
on Wednesday, and Mr.. Crogan oc-
cupied the rest of the day In the
opening speech before the jury. He
was followed Thursday morning by
w. G. Brown, he by Mr.. Hyde and
he by Mr.. Martin. Mr.. Fortney be-
gan the closing speech on Friday.
| The defense had a less number of
witnesses than before. and Lakers
own evidence WAS considerably
shorter. The evidence for the prose-
cution was the same as before, ex-
cept that Daniel G. Raymond, new
witness, testified that while Lieb was
here in jail in 1886, Lakel told wit
ness that if Lieb got clear and came
back TO Brandonville he would not
live there long. Raymond never let
this out until after the other trial,
when he supposed it was all over
and that he would not be called 10
testify. His evidence was cumula-
tive so that Of Burke, Smith and
Evans.
Lakel was tried at the last (April)
term of the court. The jury found
him guilty Of murder in the first de-
gree and fixed his punishment at
confinement in the penitentiary for

fc.e the trial, Judge Ice granted

spending some time at Uncle John
Dietrich's, in Union district, came
to town and got somewhat under
the influence of liquor. He ap-
preached George Smith and Park
Reed and inquired for the Wallace
House, saying he wanted to take a
nap. The youths suggested that
there was no need for him to waste
a dollar on bed, that they would
Elk him a place in carriage" at
Walter Hayes stable, where he
could rest without expense The
unsuspecting stranger took them at
their word and went asleep. When
he awoke his pocket book, containing
one hundred dollars in money and
nearly two thousand dollars in valu-
able papers, was missing. He gave
a description of the boys to Sergeant
Slime who soon overhauled them,

A Serious and Possibly Fatal Accident

On Friday evening last James M.
Hare, a son of Mr. Robinson Hare,
who lives at the red bridge, met
with a fearful accident that may
cost him his life. Young Hare had
a shot gun loaded with marble
and some shot, and was watching
for an owl that had been annoying
them for some time. He was sitting
ON one Of the abutments of the
bridge with the butt of his gun rest
ing on a log below him. The gun
slipped from the log and was dis
charged, the marble carrying away
one side of his nose, tearing one eye
out and crushing about half of his
forehead. He was carried to the
house and DR.. Mackey called who
did all that was possible for the suf-
ferer. Though there was little hope
of his recovery at first he seems bet
ter now and may possibly survive.

VIM. Halls Fine Residence Destroyed
by Fire.


On Friday night last Mr.. William
Halls fine residence near the Usage
Mills in Cass district was burned to
the ground with nearly all it's con
tents. The fire caught from defec-
tive fue in the kitchen. The family
had retired for the night and had
just become fairly asleep when Mr..
Hall was awakened by the smoke
and the cracking of the flames. He
sprang from his bed and ran to a
distant part of the house to save his
two children who were sleeping there.
He succeeded just in time as mo-
ment more would have smothered
them. With the help of the neigh
bors small quantity of household
goods were saved. The entire loss
will amount to near $4,000; insured
in the Peabody, of Wheeling for ST.
700. We learn that Mr.. Hall will
rebuild at once.

A HURRICANES FURY.
Great Destruction Of Property
Along the Rio Grande

Great Destruction Of Property
Along the Rio Grande
A hurricane visited Brownville, Texas, and
vicinity the other night. The rain accom-
panying the storm deluged the country for
miles. The village of Santa Cruz, oppo.
site Brownsville, was submerged for several
hours. The Rio Grande rose erapidly and ragged
like the sea, and the backwater overfowed
many miles of fertile country. Hardly a tree
is standing near the city, and several hun
dred acres of valuable sugar cane were blown
fiat to the earth. The roof of Masonic Hall was
carried away. Scanlan's large oil warehouse
was demolished. The telegraph wires were
prostrated. The damage i'll Brownsville and
at MatamoraS, Mexico, is estimated at
Sl,00U010. In Brownsville seventy small
houses were blown down and 300 Others
were unroofed AMI rendered unfit for occu-
pancy In MatamoraS dozen houses OF the
better class and from $50 to 200 small houses
we're ruined, while from 400 to 500 others
we're unroofed. In the country on the Ameri-
can side of the river incalculable damage was
done. Many heads of cattle and sheep were
lost and the crops of cotton, corn and sugar
cane were destroyed.
In MatamoraS the narrow streets in the
storm were torrents. Even in the more CEN
tral parts of the town the streets were filled
with ruins. The school buildings were full of
houseless people, and the authorities did
merchants goods have been generally
damaged by water. The suffering in the
town and country is severe. At the railroad
station several sheds were blown down and
the line was reported inundated at several
points.

O'BRIEN CONVICTED.

The Irish Editor SEN enced to Three
Months Imprisonment.
The trial Of William O'Brien, NJ. p, the
Irish editor and Home Rule leader, for sedi-
tious utterances during the eviction of tenants
at Mitchellstown, ended in verdict of guilty
by the jury. The accused man was sentenced
to three months Imprisonment. Notice of
appeal from the judgment of the court was
gwen.
Mr.. O'Brien spoke to the court and jury in
his own defense
Immediately after science had been pro-
nounced on Mr.. O'Brien on the first charge
he was placed on trial on the second charge.
This was the same nature as the other. Upon
this he was also found guilty and was sem
fenced to three months imprisonment the
term to be concurrent with the other. Mr..
O'Brien appealed from both judgments and
was liberated on bail.
John Vaudeville, Chairman of the Board
of Poor Law Guardians of Mitchellstown, who
was jointly indicted with Mr.. O'Brien for
using seditious language in speech made on
the same occasion as Mr.. OBrien'S, was also
convicted and sentenced to two months i'm
prisonment. Mr. Vaudeville appealed from
the judgment and was permitted to remain at
liberty on bail pending the decision OF the ap-
peal.
Mr. O'Brien, when he emerged from the
courtroom after the trial, was received en-
Enthusiastically by large crowd which had
assembled to testify their approval of his
course.

Self.Mending Snakes.

Oliver White, Secretary of the Peoria
lll.) Scientific Association, says in
letter to the Scientific American: II be-
lievc that you, like most scientific writers,
are inclined to scout the idea of the
"Glass-Snakes" putting themselves to-
gether' and crawling away after being
broken in pieces. Now, facts are facts,
no matter what philosophy may say:
About ten years ago 1 caught one OF
these reptiles, broke him in pieces from
one to two inches long, from the anus to
the tip of his tail-two-thirds OF the
whole length of the way-then placed
cage over him so that he could by no
means escape, and mistakes were impos-
sible. Then, on returning to the place
twenty-four hours after, the snake was
there, sound and whole, in full length,
On close examination, however, l could
see where most of the breaks had been.
and the first section, about an inch and
a half long, was not perfectly in place,
so that the fine longitudinal lines Of the
figure wele perhaps onc-sixtcenth OF an
inch out of the way. The remaining
fractions correspondent, not with that, put
with the body. l did not know then that
this putting together process was serl-
ously controvcrtcd by scientific men,
and supposed from previous careless cx-
pcrimcnts that it was only the illiterate
who doubted.

When Crime Was Rampant.

In 100 there were 100 capital offence.
in the statute book, and before the END
of the century the number had greatly
increased. To steal five shillings' worth
of goods from shop was punishable by
death. A girl of twenty-five was hanged
forreceiving piece of woolen stuff from
the man who had stolen it. In 1885
ninety-six persons were hanged at the
Old Bailey. In 1889 woman was
burned at the stake for coming. Still,
in spite of this enormous severity Of
punishment, crime was rampant.
Daring burglaries, accompanied oy
every circumstance of violence, took
place in London every night. Highway.
men invested the suburban roads, and
not seldom piled their calling in the
capital itself. The late Sir Hamilton
Seymour recollected his fathers carriage
being stopped near the bottom OF
Grosvenor Place, where the Countess OF
Buckinghamshire had suburban villa,
which the memory survives in the name
of Hobart Place. Young men of broken
fortunes and rradesmen whose business
had grown slack, had swelled the ranks
of these desperadoes. 1t was even said
that an Irish Bishop, whose incurable
love of adventure had drawn him to-
"the road," received the penalty of his
uncanonical diversion in the shape of a
bullet from traveller whom he stopped
on Hounslow Heath. The Lord Mayor
was made to stand and deliver on Turn
ham Green. Stars and Georges" were
shipped off ambassadors and Earls as,
they entered St. James's Palace. Duel
ing was the recognized mode of settling
ali personal disputes, and no attempt
was made to enforce the law which
treated the killing of a man in a duel as
deliberate murder; but debt was punished
with what too often was lifelong in
generation. A woman died in the
County Jail at Exeter after an imprison-
ment of forty-five years for a debt of e19-
-Eain6ursh Rerieao.
